If the server stores the transcript of a session, can it brute force the PIN later on?

Magic Wormhole (https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole) avoids this by using a password authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocol. If you don’t use a PAKE, you get trivial brute force attacks from anyone with a transcript.
